If some grocers urge another baking
powder upon you in place of the "Royal,"
it is because of the greater profit upon it.
.This of itself is evidence of the supe
riority of the "Royal." To give greater
profit the other must be a lower cost
powder, and to cost less it must be made
with cheaper and inferior materials, and
thusthough selling for the same, give
, . less value to the consumer.
To insure the finest cake, the most
wholesome food, be sure that no substi
tute for Royal Baking Powder is accepted
by you. -
Nothing can be substituted for
the Royal Baking Powder

LIKE PYGMALION AND GALATEA.
Bomantlo Love Story of Novelist Barrle and
Miss Mary Ansell, the Actress.
James M. Barrio, the famous author who
wrote "The Little Minister," may-well be
called a latter day Pygmalion. Every one
remembers how the irreat sculptor or uy
prus carved such a surpassingly beautiful
Ivory statue that he lost ms neart to n.
In answer to his prayers Venus breathed
the breath of life into the cold ivory, and
the lovely woman thus formed became the
wife of the happy sculptor. Not long ago
Mr. Barrle wrote a play which he called
"Walker, London," and in which he por
trayed his ideal young English girl, free
as the air, modest as the violot, full of
life and spirits, and a bit of a romp, it is
true, but pure as the limpid waters or a
spring.
After he had created her it does not ap
pear that Mr. Barrie prayed to Thespis to
breathe life into the voins of bis charming
English heroine, but Thespis took the
matter into his own hands, and when cue
curtain fell on the first night of "Walker,
London," Pygmalion Barrle had seen his
living Galatea in the person of Miss Mary
Ansell, the charming English actress who
impersonated his Ideal in the play. Mr.
Barrie was too great a lover of a good
dramatio situation to allow the Incident
to end there. He promptly fell In love with
HISS MART ANSELL,
Miss Ansell, she as promptly loved him,
and this latter day Pygmalion and his
Galatea up to date will be married as soor
as Pygmalion is strong enough to travel.
. Miss Ansell is said to be one of the most
winning and beautiful of the younger ac
tresses of the "natural school" in England.
She has been on the stage about two years,
and ber youth, beauty and unquestioned
talent have won for her a high place on
the English stage. Her first appearance
was with William Terriss in "Harbor
Lights," after which she began a tour
with her own company in ''The Love
Story." Her success was Instantaneous
and very nattering.
Mr. Barrie was born at Kirriemuir,
Scotland, 84 years ago. He was graduat
ed from the Edinburgh university as an
M. A. in 1883 and then turned to jour
nalism. His first book, "Botter Dead,"
appeared in 1887. He has published half
a dozen others since ana nag won a world
wide reputation in the portrayal of quaint,
humorous Scotch character. He has also
written several successful plays. A recent
attack of Illness loft him in delicate
health, and he and his Galatea will take a
long wedding tour, which may Include a

V JLand Tenure In England.
The facts with regard to land tenure ir
the United Kingdom are such, one would
fancy, as should rivet the attention of ev
ery thinking man. "Of the 73,000,000
aores in this country," says The Financial
Reform Almanack for 1802, "50,000,000
are 'owned' by less than 15,000 persons,
and of these 60,000,000. no less than 80,
00,000 are owned by 1,000 persons." It is
estimated that, leaving out blocks of un
der an acre in extent, some 180,524 per
sons practically "own" the whole of Eng
land, Ireland, Scotland and Wales; that
10,000 persons "own" two-thirds of Eng
land and Wales, 800 two-thirds of Scot
land, And 1,600 two-thirds of Jroland. .

In Old Mexico. ,
DISCOVERED A POCKET OF GOLD
While Sketching In the Wilds of Chihuahua
She Fell Down a Hill and laterally Tum
bled Into a Fortune Full of Pluck and
Expedients, ' ;' " !
Miss Doria Kemp is a lucky young
woman. She went out to sketch In the
hills of old Mexico, and while looking for
a brook fell into a bed of gold . nuggets.
She jumped from poverty to comparative
riches in the twinkling of an eye. Her
find netted her $9, 700. Miss Kemp is now
on her way to Paris, where she proposes
to study art in the hope of becoming a
great painter.
Miss Kemp's life up to the time of her
great discovery was not a "particularly
happy one. She was the only child of a
New England farmer who moved west
during her girlhood, and she was left an
orphan at the age of 18 in the mining
regions of Colorado. She engaged at Lead-
ville as companion to a lady in search of
health and traveled with her to old Mex.
ico. The invalid was a hard mistress,
and the companion finally left her service
at Chahariparl, a remote settlement in
Chihuahua.
Miss Kemp had saved a little money
from her earnings and decided to' stay in
Chahariparl for awhile and rest. Her host,
a German named Miller and an Italian
servant were the only people in the place
who could speak any English. ; The story
of her discovery is best told in her own
words: ''One afternoon I started out from
the town with my sketchbook under my
arm, and after a brief walk came to a
rolling, rather steep hill. , Curious to see
what was beyond, I went on up and over
Its brow. Before me lay one of the wild
est scenes I have ever seen. The sound of
a stream came up from the depths of blue
below. It sounded tempting, and I start
ed for it. As I went on down the sides I
tore my skirts in the jagged undergrowth,
but I kept on and on, marking my way
by breaking low limbs. i 1 soon came Jn
sight of the stream and was turning to
make my way to the left to find a slant
' MISS DOB I A KEMP. : ;'' "
that would take me to the bank of it when
I found myself sinking down and down.
I reached out for something to clutch, but
something always gave way, and I finally
landed on a sandy bit of beach in a little
core that the horizontal wall pf the moun
tain's base made at the edge of the stream.
"I was not hurt, My fall had been
gradual, I had fallen through a growth
that covered the side of the hill above me
full 80 feet. I scanned the sides of the
rock that made the cove, - There was no
retreat except through the brook, ' I was
not worried, however, and as it was early
sat down to sketch the canyon as it stretch
ed away in the blue depths. While con
templating the view I absently picked" up
pebbles and threw them into' the water.
One of them I happened to notice as I held
it in my hand. It was of odd shape and
peculiar color where the dried earth didn't
cover It. -1 washed it off In the stream. ' It
looked suspiciously like gold. I looked
where I had been sitting, and there in an
oblong rift of the ' rocks was a hatful of
just such clods as I held in my hand. ' I
had seen nuggets of gold, but had never
heard of them in such quantities as met
my gaze. Hoping it was gold, but not
sure, and with thoughts or Monte Cristo-
like splendor in my mind, I made
my way around the point pf rock to find a
way pack home wjth the nugget securely
fastened In my dress. , The water, was up
to my shoulders, but I succeeded n get
ting around; then, marking carefully with
bits of paper the way, I made up the hill
again and gained the house much the
worse for wear. I put on a dry dress, and
seeking Miller showed him my find, ask
ing him, with a calmness 1 certainly didn 't
feel, what It was. He scanned it carefully
and said! . .
" 'It's purtygood gold.! Where 'd you Ket
"I rather stammered that I had found
it In the creek's bed a short distance from
the house. Thoughts of the treasure, if
it were one, being filched from me caused
this little deception. I thanked him and
went to my room. To get the rest of the
nuggets from where they were and take
them safely to a place where I could dis
pose ol them gave me much to think on.
I finally decided to trust the Italian, who
seemed grateful for various little kind
nesses of mine to his wife. I promised
bim $50 for his services, and he swore to
keep my secret.
"We went to my gold mine with pick
and shovel, bags and a rope, and after
eight or nine hours of hard work exhaust
ed the pocket. . It made about 80 pounds of
dirt, which we divided into two packages.
'J he next day the Italian secured a cart,
and we started for the railroad, which we
reached after a six days' trip, , I gave the
Italian live or six ounces of the most solid
of the stuff and had the rest packed n a
stout box. While at the station I met a
traveling salesman to whom I confided.
He advised me to take it to the City of
Mexico, I lacked f 10 or 113 of having
money enough to pay my fare, but he
loaned it to me, saying I could sepd it to
him. I arrived safely In the city, and
with the assistance of an American at the
hotel I had the stuff melted, and after the
customs and license were paid it netted
me $9,700. On the advice of the same
gentleman I invested in a small cultivated
coffee plantation near Minatitlan. It was
profitable, and I sold out last year." ,
Its Curious Formation la the Full Buys of
a July Son.
Two solid bodies, one yellow, sulphur,
Che other black, cafbon, unite under cer
tain circumstances to form a colorless
liquid called sulphide of carbon, which
must be handled with much precaution
on account of its great explosive prop
erty. The soluble property of sulphide
of carbon renders it valuable to take
spots off of garmenta If its odor -is
more disagreeable than that of benzine
or turpentine, it has at least the advan
tage of being dispelled quickly in conse
quence of the prompt evaporation of the.
liquid. There is nothing equal to it to
take off spots of paint on clothes. It
does not do it, however, without creat
ing great fear in persons who use it for
the first time, fov they see on the very
place where, to their great pleasure, the
paint had disappeared a large white
spot, the nature of which is hard for
them to define, and the more they brush
the more unsightly and the larger that
white spot grows. Is then the garment
lost? No, for fortunately after a few
moments the spot melts away never to
show again. - It was snow and nothing
mora . The sulphide of carbon in evapo
rating takes heat from the cloth and
surrounding air, and the result of that
is a sudden lowering of temperature suf
ficient to freeze the vapor of the atmos
phere. ''; ' ' .
.Without operating on your clothes
yon may make the experiment in the
following way: Fill a small vial with
sulphide of carbon, taking great care to
do it far from all flame or heated stove.
Then close the bottle with a cork stopper
through wbichyou have previously bored
a small hola . In this hole place a piece
of blotting paper made up into a small
rolL The paper must reach to the bot
tom of the bottle and about an inch
above the oork. Within 15 minutes you
will see the outside of this paper cover
ed with snow, the quantity of which
gradually increases. The liquid has risen
through the pores of the paper as the oil
of a lamp through the wick. Whea it
gets to the open air, it evaporates, and
the water contained in the surrounding
atmosphere, being brought to a temper
ature below 83 degrees, has been frozen.
If you divide the paper outside of the
bottle into several pieces, you obtain
flowers and most charming effects. You
may make the experiment in summer
and in the full rays of 'the sun. The re
sult will be obtained then more prompt
ly, evaporation being more abundant
